In a couple of weeks I have to attend my first ever funeral for one of the above, I wondered if any of you have ever been to one?

Although I’ve made a carer out of offending people and saying the wrong thing I’m going to do my best to be “on point” for this sad event.

My wife was surprised when my cousin rang her to give her the sad news by declaring that the poor girl who’d passed away had “gone to sleep”…..it seemed more like the way you’d describe a death to a child?

I don’t think the Jeahovah’s have a wake either, you get dispatched and then that’s it.

Easy to say the wrong thing at these events, I can see myself saying to someone, “I’m sorry X has gone to sleep” and seeing the look on their faces that tells me they think I’m an idiot!

Have any of you been to one?
